Hello darkness, my old friend....
....I've come to talk with you again....
....because a vision softly creeping....
....left it's seeds while I was sleeping....
....and the vision....
....that was planted in my brain....
....still remains....
....within the sound of silence.
In restless dreams, I walked along....
....narrow streets of cobblestone....
....neath the halo of a street lamp....
....I turned my collar to the cold and damp....
....when my eyes were stabbed....
....by the flash of a neon light....
....that split the night....
....and touched the sound....
....of silence.
....of silence.
And in the naked light I saw....
....ten thousand people, maybe more....
....people talking without speaking....
....people hearing without listening....
....people writing songs....
....that voices never share....
....no one dared....
....disturb the sound....
....of silence.
....of silence.
"Fools," said I, "you do not know"....
....silence like a cancer grows....
....hear my words that I might teach you....
....take my arms and I might reach you....
....but my words....
....like silent raindrops fell....
....and echoed in the wells....
....of silence.
....of silence.
And the people bowed and prayed....
....to the neon God they made....
....and the sign flashed out it's warning....
....in the words that it was forming....
....and the sign said the words of the prophets....
....are written on the subway walls....
....and tenement halls....
....and whispered the sound....
....of silence.
